Yes. Just like editing wikipedia will help train models that are used for data classification in north korea or whatever.
It's a feature of open data, it's open and usable by anyone.
... for any purpose.
Yes. Or you can license it for specific purposes. But in general open data refers to data that is open to use by anyone, for any purpose, without restrictions except in some cases attribution.

Everything you do online publicly is usable in principle. Might as well also be public good. And my understanding is that Pokémon go made use of the camera. The kind of data you add using street complete is like "does this crossing have a traffic light?"
